Seach for part of string and replace whole word
I am trying to find words in a text with a certain ending with sed and replace them with themselves but wrapped in tabs
ex.: The fish swims in the water. -> searching for -ms ending
The fish <tab>swims<tab>in the water.
I've been trying all sorts of commands and get either an error message (sed 's/([^])-athon/\t\1\t/g' > try1
sed: -e expression #1, char 22: unterminated `s' command) or sed does not even find my word.
Who can help?
